Any two waves that meet as they travel through the same medium will interact. If the two waves are in phase their crests will coincide and they will experience interference, producing a wave with a(n) amplitude.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

A20 cm long spring is attached to a wall. the spring stretches to a length of 22 cm when you pull on it with a force of 100 n. what is the spring constant

Apotter's wheel moves uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 32.0 s. (a) find its angular acceleration in radians per second per second. rad/s2 (b) would doubling the angular acceleration during the given period have doubled final angular speed?
